Houston ( Entercom) - A 755-foot oil tanker collided with two barges on Friday, capsizing one and damaging on, leaking Reformate into the Houston Ship Channel, the US Coast Guard said in a statement.

"An estimated 25,000 barrels of gasoline blend stock were loaded on each barge. An unknown amount of product has been released from the damaged barge," the statement said.
